Cardinal Numbers

Cardinal numbers are the basic numbers you’ll use for counting. Here are the basics from one to ten in Russian, along with their pronunciations:

• One - один (odin)
• Two - два (dva)
• Three - три (tri)
• Four - четыре (chetyre)
• Five - пять (pyat')
• Six - шесть (shest')
• Seven - семь (sem')
• Eight - восемь (vosem')
• Nine - девять (devyat')
• Ten - десять (desyat')

Once you're comfortable with these, you can proceed to higher numbers:

• Eleven - одиннадцать (odinnadtsat')
• Twelve - двенадцать (dvenadtsat')
• Thirteen - тринадцать (trinadtsat')

And so forth. Russian numbers from 11-19 are structured similarly, using a combination of “надцать” (nadtsat’), making them easier to learn once you grasp the basic numbers from 1 to 10.

Ordinal Numbers

Ordinal numbers represent the order or rank of things in a sequence. These are fundamental when telling the date or giving instructions. Here's a quick glance at ordinal numbers from first to fifth in Russian:

• First - первый (pervyy)
• Second - второй (vtoroy)
• Third - третий (tretiy)
• Fourth - четвёртый (chetvyortyy)
• Fifth - пятый (pyatyy)

Ordinal numbers in Russian are also pretty regular once you understand the pattern. The suffix "ый" is common, but you’ll notice changes depending on the gender and case of the noun they modify.
